I like listening to the old shows because of the camaraderie of the different personalities. It made for more interesting shows and it was fun to see who would be on the chopping block that day. Even over the last 2 yrs the show has totally changed-none of the back office guys come in anymore and it's just not fun or funny.

One stellar example is the entire last year at KROCK with it's never ending commercial of the Revolution. It's impossible to listen without screaming "LIAR" at Howard.

That is real infuriating stuff and the stock fraud investigation and insider trading accusations make it even worse. Technically Wiggy stole from his entire loyal fan base that followed him to satellite.

There's also an aspect of the material becoming more dated, the purely comic segments tend to hold up pretty well, goofing on Jackie's houses/parties as an example while other stuff that was great in the context of the time doesn't hold up so well, Clinton's impeachment for example.

When I listen to tapes of Riley asking to be paid for producing a radio show or Jeff the Drunk being ridiculed because he mentioned he wasn't paid for hosting "Drunk Week" now I get angry. I used to laugh.

I used to laugh at the wackpackers too. It's not so funny now. You have a man making more in a week than they will make in a lifetime. Looking back it's pretty sad.

See, I was annoyed by him goofing on Jackie, because Wiggy does his goofing in private or through his people. Jackie had no other outlet BUT to do it in the public forum if he wanted to get himself a bump. I liked Jackie on the show and thought it suffered when he left, regardless of hour good Artie was....
